Abstract

The goal of this thesis is to show a different conception of juvenile criminal liability, approach to his/her punishment and a consideration of how some of the institutes and successful examples from Switzerland could be used in the Czech law as de lege ferenda, especially considering the planned recodification of criminal procedural law together with an update to the juvenile judiciary law. If one of the main benefits of such a change is supposed to be shorter criminal proceedings, moving some of the authority from courts to public prosecutors during the preparatory phase and shortening deadlines for some tasks should be considered.
